Sir Princess Petra's Mission by Diane Robinson

Sir Princess Petra's Mission is
the third book in the award-winning Pen Pieyu Adventure series. Petra
is a strong female lead and her story involves several interesting
characters, such as her steed, Snarls. Snarls is actually not a horse
but a dragon. He is the dragon Petra conquer in book #1 to win her
knighthood for her ninth birthday. Petra's parent's the king and queen,
do not like having a knight for a daughter. They keep changing the
kingdom rule book in order to stop their daughter. At each turn, Petra
has been a competent match, thus far keeping her knight status.

Sir
Princess Petra has already attained her knighthood in the Kingdom of
Pen Pieyu and her non-princess-like talent certificate from Talent
School, neither of which pleases her father and mother, the king and
queen. The king writes up more silly rules in the royal rule book to
deter Sir Princess Petra from her knightly ways and useless talent, and
turn her into a real princess once and for all. Will the king finally
succeed with this newly written, ridiculous mission for Petra?

Diane Mae Robinson is the recipient of
six international writing awards and one prestigous provincial award for
her fantasy adventure children’s chapter book series, The Pen Pieyu
Adventures. The author has created a world full of delightful, zany
characters, while embracing the traditional values of kindness,
understanding, and acceptance of others to create a story with the
humorous essence of Shrek.

You're sure to be transported back into medieval times with this exciting story of knights and dragons. Sir Princess Petra's Mission is a book that is bound to keep you and your young reader turning the pages. The action moves quickly from page to page. You won't want to stop in the middle. Petra and her friends are bound to capture your heart as you read of her adventures and mishaps. You'll be laughing as you travel with them on their mission. It is a very delightful read you won't want to miss. I'm even considering using her book in my summer school reading classroom. 5 stars if you ask me.
